You have forgot, Penthea, How still I have a father. But remember I am a sister, though to me this brother Hath been you know unkind most unkind! — Lady, Your check lies in my silence. Madam, here. I think 'ee sleep, 'ee drones; wait on Penthea Unto her lodging.— Ithocles' wronged Lady! My reckonings are made even, Death or Fate Can now nor strike too soon, nor force too late. Forbear your Inquisition; curiosity Is of too subtle, and too searching nature: In fears of love too quick; too slow of credit: I am not what you doubt me. Nephew, be then As I would wish;— all is not right,— Good heaven Confirm your Resolutions for dependence On worthy end which may advance your quiet. I did the Noble Orgilus much injury, But grieved Penthea more: I now repent it; Now, Uncle, now; this Now, is now too late: So provident is folly in sad issue, That afterwit, like Bankrupts debts, stand tallied Without all possibilities of payment: Sure he's an honest, very honest Gentleman; A man of single meaning. I believe it: Yet Nephew, 'tis the tongue informs our cares; Our eyes can never pierce into the thoughts, For they are lodged too inward:— but I question No truth in Orgilus.— The Princess (Sir) The Princess? ha? With her the Prince of Argos. Great (fair one) grace my hopes with any instance Of Livery, from the allowance of your favour, This little spark. A Toy. Love feasts on Toys, For Cupid is a child,— vouchsafe this bounty It cannot denied. You shall not value (Sweet cousin) at a price what I count cheap, So cheap, that let him take it who dares stoop for't, And give it at next meeting to a Mistress, she'll thank him for't, perhaps. The Ring, Sir, is The princess's, I could have took it up. Learn manners, prithee.— To the blessed owner Upon my knees. Y'are saucy. This is pretty, I am, belike, a Mistress.— wondrous pretty: Let the man keep his fortune, since he found it; He's worthy on't.— On cousin. Follow Spaniel. I'll force 'ee to a fawning else. You dare not. My Lord, you were too forward. look'ee Uncle: Some such there are whose liberal contents Swarm without care in every sort of plenty; Who, after full repasts, can say them down To sleep; and they sleep, Uncle: in which silence Their very dreams present 'em choice of pleasures: Pleasures (observe me Uncle) of rare object: Here heaps of gold, there Increments of honours; Now change of garments, then the votes of people; Anon varieties of beauties, courting In flatteries of the night, exchange of dalliance, Yet these are still but dreams: give me felicity Of which my senses waking are partakers; A real, visible, material happiness: And then too, when I stagger in expectance Of the least comfort that can cherish life: I saw it (Sir) I saw it; for it came From her own hand.
